Apart from the obvious Turbo, mani, up and downpipe ?

As banny said really. Mine is only done because really it is an out and out track car, custom from the ground up with the rad/intercooler pack not only custom but moved forward to create room. You can gain room by moving the engine backwards but be prepared to spend alot of money for a custom driveshaft from the likes of the driveshaft shop in the states. Not only that but I don't really have a bonnet more of just an outer shell with lots of holes as you can see in the project thread.

Thanks, hopefully see you at either shakespear or pod soon as I need to do some 1/4 mile passes to shake it down.

I'm very intrigued by front mounted turbos because of shorter pipework and the possibility of a compound setup, for example a front mounted gtx28r and a rotated gtx35r should be a fast spooling monster and Not that difficult to pipe up but controlling it will take some mastering I'm sure, but the possibility is there.
I'm meant to be there for the FBS championship if the car is running so let me know

You can make this a compact install, to give an idea of room from when we were doing the exhaust
You can see how far forward it pushes the rad packs etc
Birchy, why spend so much money and then finish ish it off with a cheap nasty mushroom filter?
That one is only there to keep the turbo clean while there is still fab work going on. We still need to design/manufacture a proper inlet for it which will most likely either come across or up and across so isn't situated behind the rad/inter-cooler. Although that is a genuine HKS mushroom from the states
